How to watch Peacock TV in Australia

To stream Peacock TV in Australia, you need a US IP address. We have all the info on what you need to stream Peacock TV from Australia.

Some of the best TV shows, movies and live content aren’t accessible in Australia. Well, not officially. While you can get most Hulu content via Disney Plus and pretty much all HBO Max content on Binge, there’s no denying the USA has some great streaming options that we don’t. Fortunately, using the right virtual private network (VPN) service can help access more US streaming services like Peacock TV.

To watch Peacock TV in Australia, you’re going to need a US IP address. The easiest way to get one is by using a VPN that works well with streaming Peacock TV content. When connecting from Australia, VPNs mask the IP address assigned by your internet provider and replace it with another. While the fastest speeds typically come from Australian VPN servers, you can also connect to faraway parts of the world, like the USA.

Connecting to a US VPN server grants access to a range of typically geoblocked content, including streaming services like Peacock TV. Here’s a list of VPNs that we’ve reviewed that offer speedy streaming for Peacock TV:

• Atlas VPN
• ExpressVPN
• Hola VPN
• Hotspot Shield VPN
• NordVPN
• PrivadoVPN
• Private Internet Access VPN
• Proton VPN
• PureVPN
• Windscribe VPN

Atlas VPN, Proton VPN, Windscribe VPN, PrivadoVPN and Hola VPN all have free versions if you’d like to try before you buy. Whichever VPN you choose, connect to a US server, then visit the Peacock TV website. Create an account and you’re now ready to test streaming.

Here’s how all of these Peacock TV VPNs look in comparison to each other.

Peacock TV has a mix of free and premium content. Peacock TV Premium costs US$4.99 a month or US$49.99 per year. There’s also Peacock TV Premium Plus, which costs US$9.99 per month or US$99.99 per year. The difference between the two is that Peacock TV Premium Plus doesn’t have ads, allows for offline viewing for select title, and includes a 24/7 NBC live channel.

The free content is restricted to specific TV show episodes (usually the first episode) and selected movies. Basically, any content marked with a purple feature in the top-left corner needs a premium subscription. If there’s no feather, it’s free to stream.

At the time of writing, Peacock TV was spruiking Bel Air, Grand Crew, Poker Face (the show, not the Poker Face movie), The Blacklist and Magnum P.I. At least one episode for all of those shows was free to stream except for The Blacklist. In terms of movies, there was Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Megan (including Megan Unrated), Tár and Armageddon Time. All of those movies required a Peacock Premium subscription.

Admittedly, there were some great movies that were available to stream for free, including the John Wick trilogy, Serena, A League of Their Own, and The Host. In terms of general content, Peacock is home to the following featured brands:

• Peacock Originals
• NBC
• Bravo
• Hallmark
• English Premier League
• Telemundo
• WWE
• MSNBC
• NFL
• Focus Features
• News (American)
